Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs grew up in Silicon Valley in the early 1950’s.  Because of this, he grew up (after being adopted as a baby) in a neighborhood of engineers.   As a result, Mr. Jobs had a great interest in the electronics field as he grew up. I found it interesting that Steve jobs dropped out of college after one semester, because he was more interested in drugs (LSD specifically), philosophy (he became a Buddhist and also joined a hippie commune) and fruitarian diets.

In 1970, he met Steve Wozniak who also loved electronics.  They created the Apple I and Apple II computers.  Steve Jobs was focussed on the design of the computer and Steve Wozniak was responsible for the electronics.  The Apple II delivered color graphics (the first of it’s kind).  Steve jobs was instrumental in the creation of The e Apple II, Macintosh, iMac, MacBook, iPod, iTunes, iPhone, and iPad.

Sadly, he died on Oct. 5, 2011, of complications from pancreatic cancer.
